Hello pod pilots!

This is my first ever attempt at video editing but I think I did a pretty good job. I frapsed, edited the video and made the soundtrack myself. Most footage is from the incursion in Armi last week.

Watch teh video on youtube


You can listen (and download) just the audio track on on my soundcloud page.

I hope you enjoy both the music and the video and please do offer feedback. This being my very first stab at video montage I'm curios to learn how I did.

I'd like to give you some constructive stuff, but instead I'll have to do this.

Cinematic pve videos will never ever, in a thousand years, be exciting. It's actually worse than watching battleships shooting POS's. It's even worse than that vid that some nameless dude posted with a mega shooting antimatter at targets 40 km away while not even rring his buddies. It just makes me want to go to the kitchen, and bang my head into the sink until the bloodloss valiantly saves me from this horrid experience. Just please no. Not at all.

I'm not much for that type of music, but it didn't want to make me scrach my ears off my head with a grater.

Maybe I should have added this to the first post but here it is here.

I didn't really aim for anything grandiose with this one. It was more of a an exercise to see what I could do in Vegas in terms of "background for a youtube video". You see, it's mostly a way to promote my music and it sure beats a static image and what else to put behind my music than my favourite game.

And about liking the tune... to each his own. I know this is not going to be to everyone's tastes.

This was for the luls, don't take to seriously.

I didn't watch the video - but I listened to the music.

That is a unique track. I doesn't feel like it drops at all, but I feel that perhaps it wasn't meant to drop? The quality of the sounds you have created are very high and I think you balanced the frequencies quite well.

It terms of its applicability, the images that it evokes in my mind are similar to a scene in a movie when ideas are coalescing and forming with the main characters.

For example, it would fit perfectly with a scene when a gang of bank robbers are poring over the schematics of a bank vault and the camera is rotating around them, emphasising ideas swirling and mixing together. It would propel the scene forward and set-up the actual heist.

It could also work in opposite, with the police finding clues, studying the camera footage from the heist and enhancing.

May not be what you had in mind, but that's what's in mine when I hear it.

I think you got some skills there and there is a good market for producing background sound/music for tv and movie usage.

Is this a market you considered?

This was an experiment towards making a sort of music that's more cinematic and athmospheric, rather than something for the clubs. However I had to keep what I love about dance music - big breakbeats and mean bass.

Thanks for your feedback.

Also about the track not really dropping, it was on purpose. I wanted to create a feeling of constant tension and uneasiness.
